Dear TSR shill:
FUCK OFF.
Wow, aren't we inflammatory.
I'm not a shill, I'm not here to promote one thing or another, all I said was people are probably overreacting. Though it probably doesn't matter, you probably didn't even read my post.
rohina:
I read it, it was full of stupid platitudes, about your reductionist life and how you think money is the only important metric. What about ethics? Pride in your work? Not boning some crazy internet hag and then pretending her bad art is fabulous just so she doesn't shop you to your wife?
Still, you've drunk the Kool-Aide and probably even think TSR isn't sharing your paypal info. Move along.

Faded, do you have any idea of their history? Don't assume this is the only questionable thing that have ever happened. Don't assume there is no history that leads people to question them now.

Wow, I never said anything like that. You all are just blowing assumptions.
No, money is not the only important thing. Pride in your work and so forth and so on, fantastic. Did I ever say TSR was marvelous? No. I never said I was even a fan of the site.
But, please do keep on insulting me for no reason at all, even though all I've done was said that people are overreacting. I haven't been insulting anyone (even though I'm being attacked).

No, I did not know there was any sort of history, I've never heard anything about that.
All that I know is the time I used TSR, nothing bad happened to me.
Maybe they've changed for the worse (like I said, I've never heard anything about their history, I guess they've changed since I used it, in which case, it saddens me.)

Users of TSR are not stupid (as so many of the fanboys here seem to think).
I might agree that not all TSRers are stupid, but that also is moderately dependent upon one's definition of stupidity.

There IS such a thing as not wanting to spend hours at a time making, obtaining or installing additional content for a videogame. Hence, they're willing to use a Paysite ("Time is Money, Friends"). It has nothing to do with "stupid" so much as "just don't care to spend gross amounts of time".
In this case, I'd lean more toward "ignorant" than "stupid," as in, those who have half a brain and haven't discovered alternative sources for these materials are simply ignorant. Those who have, and still prefer to pay for something that the creators and distributors are legally not permitted to profit from, would be classified as stupid.
I happen to agree that the issue with this purported "spyware/malware" was completely exaggerated here, but so what? MATY seems to be all about drama. And I'm not convinced of TSR's innocence as I, too, tend to consider history a good indicator of probable intent. They've done nefarious things with user info before; I have no reason to believe it is beyond them to do it again.

If you find rohina's reaction surprising or offensive, take this advice: Pretend you never found this forum. It is not a place for you.
